Level 4 - Learner Manual
Expectations
Group activity
1. Explain to the group that it is always a good idea for the facilitator to find out
what a group is thinking and it would be nice to keep a record of this to look
back on at the end.
2. Going round the circle, ask each group member in turn to express one thing
they want and one thing they do not want from the workshop. They should
be encouraged to say “I want …” and then “I do not want ….” Finish with your
own statements.
3. Do not make any comments about their wants and concerns as you go round
the circle, but record them on the flip chart.
4. Once everyone has stated a want and a concern, you should make some
comments. If any hopes are beyond the scope of the workshop, you should
explain this now. You could reassure people about their fears.
It is also a good idea to allow the learners to set personal expectations for the
course. These may take the form of an action plan that will help them look at their
strategies for influencing authority or raising awareness about specific issues.
